Windows XP (or any other operating system)Windows 7 is best experienced on a new PC with the latest hardware, but if your computer meets the minimum specifications, you can install Windows 7 on a PC running Windows XP. Windows 7 must be "custom" installed (also known as a "clean" installation) over Windows XP. Before beginning the installation, you'll need to copy your files and settings to an external drive. After Windows 7 has been installed you will need to re-install all of your programs using the original installation media and then copy over the files and settings you backed up to your external drive. Because Windows 7 requires a custom installation, we strongly recommend that you get help with this process from your local computer service provider.

Yes, those are countertops. Held up by cinder blocks. And yes, that's a cinder block under the 17" CRT. Who said geeks can't be gracefully ghettofab? ^_^

There are two test benches on the right for PCs and one with a 9" TV for console modification work which doubles as a soldering station. Below the desk on the right is room for up to 4 PCs.

By no mean a glamorous shot but one just to show off my installed amp. Very clean install, no wires showing (when seat is in place) and of course the seat covers the amp. Amp settings can still be adjusted on the side when seat is in place too.
